In November 2010, The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) published a groundbreaking report, Improving quality of care for all with Parkinson’s disease, that listed key measures or problems that Neurologists should review with their patients, in an effort to improve the care of people with Parkinson’s. Fall prevention was one of these measures.
